Posteriyor Reverzibl Ensefalopati Sendromunda Hayat Kurtarıcı: Yoğun Bakım Ünitesi

Posteriyor reverzibl ensefalopati sendromu (PRES); epileptik nöbet atakları, bilinç durum bozuklukları, baş ağrısı, görme anormallikleri ve bulantı/kusma gibi birtakım klinik-radyolojik semptomların söz konusu olduğu tablo için kullanılan bir tanımlamadır. Tanı MRG'de parietal ve oksipital bölgede daha belirgin olan bilateral ve simetrik serebral ödem gözlemi ile konur. Bu yazıda, preeklampsi zemininde PRES gelişen bir hastanın yoğun bakım ünitesindeki takip ve tedavisi, güncel literatür eşliğinde sunulmuştur.

Life-Saving Intensive Care Unit in Cases of Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a term defining a condition characterized with a set of clinical and radiological symptoms including epileptic attacks, abnormal changes in consciousness, headache, visual abnormalities, nausea and vomiting. It is diagnosed through MRI by observing bilateral and symmetric cerebral edema in occipital and parietal lobes. In this case report, we present the treatment and follow-up process in the intensive care unit of a patient who developed PRES with underlying preeclampsia.
